cooling

[Robert B Heckendorn]

We are looking at the facilities issues in installing a beowulf on the
order of 500 nodes.  What facilities is telling us is that it is going
to almost cost us more to buy the cooling for the machine than to buy
machine itself.  How are people making the air conditioning for their
machines affordable?  Have we miscalculated the HVAC loads?  Are we
being over charged?  

thanks for any guidance.
